Ladders

This stylish 20th-century etching by Swedish artist Lars Hoffsten (b. 1956) depicts ladders within an industrial interior.

There’s a geometric quality to it, which is in part due to its linear forms - the striking verticals of the ladders and the horizontal of the railings.

Signed in pencil, dated, framed and glazed.

Conservation & History

We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
